Our Global Certifications

Tapo is committed to data security and compliance, holding ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications. These certifications demonstrate our adherence to international standards for information security management and personal information management.

Data Encryption

Tapo employs AES 128-bit encryption and TLS 1.2 protocols to protect sensitive information, such as camera videos and user identity data. AES 128-bit encryption offers robust protection using a 128-bit key, making unauthorized access nearly impossible. TLS 1.2 ensures secure internet connections, maintaining data confidentiality and integrity while resisting eavesdropping and tampering.

Account Security

To enhance user account security, Tapo implements a Two-Step Verification mechanism. This requires an additional verification step beyond just a username and password, safeguarding user credentials and preventing unauthorized access.

Comprehensive Data Defense

Tapo partners with AWS to leverage top-tier security services, including DDoS protection and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), to protect against data attacks. Additionally, we have disaster recovery measures in place to quickly restore data in case of corruption or loss, and we conduct regular security audits to monitor data access and identify potential breaches.

Secure Cameras, Private Life

Tapo provides a full range of cameras designed to secure your home while also protecting your personal information. Our solutions ensure both safety from threats and privacy for your data.

1) Secure Local & Cloud Storage
